1 Claim. (01. 206-58) extending from said open slot. Furthermore it isproposed that an area of said end web section engage around thecontainer for covering the container.

Another object of the invention resides in the provision of a simplemeans for holding the web section mentioned in the previous. paragraph,

fixedly inposition.

The invention alsoucontemplates modified packages as mentioned,particularly characterized by covering members mounted upon the ends ofthe container for covering the end portions of the container which arenot normally covered I by the said end web section. a 1

Still further it is proposed to provide the covering members mentionedin the previous par- .agraph with slots aligned with the open slot ofthe container through which said end web section may pass.

Anotherobject of the invention is the construction of a device asmentioned which is simple and durable and which may be manufactured andsold at a reasonable cost.

For further comprehension of the invention,

and of the objects and advantages thereof, reference will} be had to thefollowing description and accompanying drawing,and to the appended claimin which the various novel features of, the

invention are more particularly set forth.

In the accompanying .drawingforming a material part of this disclosure:

Fig. 6 is a fragmentary perspective view of the package shown in Fig.particularly illustratpresent day practices,

The cellulose film and the like paper roll pack-.

age, in accordance with thisv invention, includes a container I0provided with an open slot ll along one side and normally holding a rollof cellulose film or the like material [2 so that an 'end web section I2thereof extends through said More specifically, the container l0 openslot H. is constructed of cardboard in accordance with As the details ofthe constructionof the container form no part of the invention suchdetails will be omittedfrom this specification. However, it is pointedout that a metallic strip I4 is mounted along the slot II to facilitatetearing off the extended section of the web I2 The container H is alsoprovided with an opening-l5, in a corner opposed to the slot ll throughwhich a finger may be inserted to help turnthe roll [2, or shift the webportion l2, to extend anothersection thereof, The container lil also hasa wall section 16 interiorly thereof with its inner end "lfiebentlaterally to forma support for the end web section [2 as this portion ofthe'roll extends from the package. This metallic strip is curved tostrengthen this strip and to bend the lower edge Id of the strip towardthe inner wall section It, to insure a better cutting edge and guidingsurface for the web I2 which is to be torn off the package.

It is proposed that an area I2 from the end section I2 engage around thecontainer I 0 for covering the container, as clearly shown in Fig.

article is sold, the tape I1 is torn and then the web section may-bedrawn out to any extent and a. portion torn off, in the usual wayagainst the blade. 14.

In Figs. 5 and 6 a modified form of the invenf tion is disclosed whichdistinguishes from the prior form in the fact that covering members 20are mounted upon the ends of the container l0 for protecting these endportions which normally are not protected by the web I2 andits'extension I2. Each covering member 20, preferably is formed from-apiece of cellulose film wound around the container I 0 and having'itsend portions 2% overlapped and cemented together.

Each covering member 20 is also provided with a slot 2! aligned with theopen slot ll of the con- 1 slots 2|,

tainer Hi. The web l2? extends out from said In other respects this formof the invention is identical to the previous form and like parts havebeen indicated by like reference numerals. While I have illustrated anddescribed the preferred embodiments of my invention, it is tobeunderstood that I do not limit myself to the precise constructionsherein disclosed and the right is reserved to all changes andmodifications coming within the scope of the invention as defined in theappended claim.

1 Having thus described my invention, what I claim as new, and desire tosecure by States Letters Patent is:

In a rectangular package of the class described, a container completelyenclosing a cylindrical roll of cellulose film or similar material and Jformed with an open slot along one corner," said roll having an end websection projected through, t said slot and wound completely about saidrectangular container, and means holding said web).

section in its encircling position, so that said means may be broken tofree said web section to" be, gripped and -.used for: continuing topullthe. Lweb of cellulose film through said, slot, said means,comprising a severable piece of tape ce- ;mented to the end of said websection and to the face an adjacent portion of said web section;
